The problems occur when working with the Glossary module la_en, "Latin to English Glossary”.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">First, JSword expects that a key is present in the module at most once. And if CaseInsensitiveKeys is not set on the module that the keys are ordered by uppercase. Practically, it does a binary search and for a given entry will always return the same value.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Second, JSword doesn’t expect empty entries other than at the beginning of a module (where an empty entry is an index with a size of 0). This is common at the beginning of modules.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Below are the first few entries of the la_en module. The columns are separated by tabs, though your email may show them as spaces. I’ve truncated long values as indicated with ….</div><div class="">From this we see that index 5 is empty. “A AB ABS” is present 6 times.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Should a dictionary module have duplicate keys?</div><div class="">Should there be empty index entries?</div><div class="">In other words, is this module in error?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">From a JSword perspective, it should be graceful (right now it isn’t) in the face of these. I’m working on that. Any thoughts on the matter of how it should be graceful?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Monaco;" class="">index<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>offset<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>size<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>key<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>value</div><div style="margin: 0px;
